(claps) Woo!
+-- Verse 1 (0:09)
Guitar 1 + Guitar 3 in background
Called
to see
if your back
was still aligned and your sheets
were growing grass all on the corners of your bed
But you've
got too much to wear on your sleeves
it has too much to do with me
and secretly I want to bury in the yard
the gray remains of a friendship scarred

+-- Verse 2 (0:53)
Guitar 1 + Guitar 2
You told us of your new life there
you've got someone coming 'round
gluing tinsel to your crown
he's got you talkin' pretty loud
You berate remember
your ailing heart and your criminal eyes
You say you're still in love
if it's true, what can be done?
It's hard to leave all these moments behind

Guitar 1 + Guitar 2 (listen to song for rhythm)

Called
to see
if your back
was still aligned and your sheets
are growing grass all on the corners of your bed
But you've
got too much to wear on your sleeves
it has too much to do with me
and secretly I want to bury in the yard
the gray remains of a friendship scarred
+-- Bridge/Solo 2 (2:08)
+-- Verse 4 (2:22)
You tested your metal
of doe's skin
and petals
while kissing
the lipless
who bleed all
the sweetness
away
